We are still in the Hospital due to Lincoln being a little yellow. They are continuously checking his blood levels to make sure the jaundice is under control. They have even brought in an ultraviolet light called a "Billi Blanket". We have to try and keep it on him as much as possible. Which makes it somewhat difficult to put him down as the light does not always like to cooperate. At first they thought they were going to have to take him to the
nursery to put him under the big lights, but our nurse was determined to get us a mobile unit. And her hard work paid off. She was able to find one for us which means Lincoln can stay here with us!I am not sure how long I am allowed stay in the Hospital. But I am glad to say that the bloating is finally starting to let up. I was so full of fluids it was crazy. It was worse than any of my pregnancy water retention!
(But I guess since they pumped me full of I don't know how many bags of pitosin I should not have been surprised!)I just hope they let both of us go home soon!I also got to finally have solid food this morning. But I now know first hand why hospital food gets such a bad rap. I got some type of egg loaf. I did not even attempt to try this concoction but Justin did. After which he promptly spit it out!!
He is being such a good sport about everything. He is even sleeping here in the room on some mini roll away bed that makes awful noises every time he moves! It is nice to have him close as my incision makes it a little bit hard to react quickly. I have not been in too much pain, but there are times that I try to move too quickly and I get a knee dropping pain shooting through my entire body!!
